First Pictures in London

This is a picture of me on the flight to Houston, psyched for London. Emily took it for me. 

This is a Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry. Man, these are amazing. Oh, and check out the Monopoly advertisement on it. I also picked up a Monopoly board because the squares are all of the places in London!

This is Emily, me and Amberlee on the Tube for the first time. Man, was it crazy!

These are just a couple of quick photos of my amazing trip so far. Stay posted because I will post whatever shots I can get from the wedding. There are people who have camped out for 5+ days, so don't expect amazing shots from me. We are going straight for TV's, just like the rest of the world, as soon as they enter the chapel. What good would it do to stand outside and miss the whole thing? lol I am very excited, though. This whole thing has been a dream, and I can't wait to share more. 

Thoughts on My First Day Across the Pond

Here is a short summary of some of the stuff that has happened during the trip/upon arrival:

British people are not very nice, carrying my luggage up four flights of tight stairs in the tube was horrible, I am physically exhausted but extremely excited, what in the world is a busker? (I know now...do you?), Cadbury vending machines will be in my Heaven, finding a friend from the trip at the airport was super cool, buying my first tube ticket= awesome, hearing the words "Please mind the gap" made me giggle with excitement, missing getting off the tube because I couldn't get my luggage through the aisle and watching Emily wave goodbye on the stop I needed was the worst feeling in the world, wandering through the streets of Kensington is exhilarating, but then falling asleep while walking in London is dangerous (especially on busy streets), a bloody and broken toenail from heavy luggage, and succumbing to a nap in desperation.

 I will post pictures later. I am not sure if I can do that in the Centre without pulling down on the wireless too much.

Ciao for now!

Two Days to Flight

So, I fly out on Tuesday, and I must admit: I am absolutely terrified. I really do not think it has sunk in yet. I have not realized that I am going to be living in a foreign country for a month and a half. I finished a crazy semester at BYU. It was the most amazing semester I have ever had, but it was still a lot of work. I just wish I had a longer break between classes. It would be nice to catch up on some sleep. :) But there is no way I am not going. I am just a little nervous, especially since I have had several people ask me if I have seen the movie Taken when I tell them I am going as a study abroad student. That is not the most reassuring thing I wanted to hear. Anyone have any good advice about living outside the country? Please share your ideas. Goodnight, and God bless.
